We're dividing 186269 by 40 
Our goal is to divide 186269 by 40.

Step 1:
If we divide 1 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 40

On to step 2:
18 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 18.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 18, we end up with 18.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 186 / 40

Let's proceed to step 3:
40 goes into 186 4 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 160 from 186.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 262 / 40

Moving on to step 4:
40 can be fit into 262 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 46.0
Subtracting 240 from 262 leaves us with 22.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 226 / 40

Step 5:
When dividing 226 by 40, we get 5 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 465.0
If we take 200 away from 226, we end up with 26.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 269 / 40

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 40 fits into 269 6 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4656.0
If we subtract 240 from 269, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 290 by 40, we get 7 with a remainder of 10.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4656.7
Subtract 280 from 290 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 100 by 40, we get 2 and a remainder of 20.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4656.72
Subtracting 80 from 100 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 200 by 40, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4656.725
Subtracting 200 from 200 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 40 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4656.725
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4656.725
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final result is 4656.725 with a remainder of 0.0.
